Kiln wash is best.

If you have a company in the area that does water jet cutting give them a call and see what they would charge.

I think I paid around $50.00 for 21 a few years ago.

Brock, how do you find Tennesse Tom, I did a search and nothing came up.
Bob

Your piece was uneven in thickness, in that case as everyone mentioned you must slow it down.
Bob

I agree with Bert, sandblast and use kiln wash.
Bob

I think the whole piece looks great, another awesome job Les.
Bob

steam table inserts are good as well. get thee to a restaurant supply store. rosanna Yep. Restaurant supply stores (especially if they buy used equipment) are right behind Goodwill in my favorite spots to find stuff for the studio. Well, that and Harbor Freight. ;-) Dewey, the guy who owns the meta...

Don is correct, That was my first kiln, my new kiln is the 25" clam shell by Olympic, Have fun.
Bob

You probably trapped air and got bubbles that you blasted through. I think you should add powder and refire. If the piece is not that important break it apart and use the pieces to create another piece.
Bob

Sorry Rick, I hope the new learning curve wont take to long. Pictures of the new shop would be nice.
Bob

Thanks Brock, good video.

I have had my cmc for over a year in a Balls canning jar, I do not put it in the fridge and it is fine.
Bob

Interesting piece, I like it.
Bob

Another great piece, love your work Sharol.
Bob

I first sandblast then use a hand held plumbers torch to heat the mold, apply wash and reheat till dry. Repeat 4 times, you mold is ready in about 5 minutes.
Bob

Looks great Greg, good luck.

I just received a nice piece of 96 irid Herringbone and have never fired this glass. Any tips on fun ways to play around with this it would be appreciated.
Bob

Nice job Les, looks great. Did you make the twigs using a torch.
Bob

I use an Oasis machine, the type they use in bars to make frozen drinks. I vacuum out the bucket after every use. Make sure you are wearing a mask when using a disposal.
Bob

I've sen those before , I like them too.
